On the RoadtoJannah message board I typically post a Hadith of the Day and the Ayat of the Day. I see that there is already a Hadith of the Day thread here so inshAllah I intend to contribute to that. However, when doing a few searches on this board I could not find an Ayat of the Day thread, so I decided to make one. If there is one already please merge this and point me in the right direction inshAllah. Also if everyone could contribute that would be wonderful. Discussion, Ayats, anything inshAllah.
JazakhAllah Khair.
8. Al-Anfal (Spoils Of War, Booty)
Surah: 8 Aya: 16
Transliteration
16. Waman yuwallihim yawma-ithin duburahu illa mutaharrifan liqitalin aw mutahayyizan ila fi-atin faqad baa bighadabin mina Allahi wama/wahu jahannamu wabi/sa almaseeru
Translation
16. And whoever turns his back to them on such a day - unless it be a stratagem of war, or to retreat to a troop (of his own), - he indeed has drawn upon himself wrath from Allâh. And his abode is Hell, and worst indeed is that destination!
And those before them rejected (the truth), and these have not yet attained a tenth of what We gave them, but they gave the lie to My apostles, then how was the manifestation of My disapproval?
(English - Shakir)
( 7 ) And [by] the soul and He who proportioned it
( 8 ) And inspired it [with discernment of] its wickedness and its righteousness,
( 9 ) He has succeeded who purifies it,
( 10 ) And he has failed who instills it [with corruption].
( 11 ) Thamud denied [their prophet] by reason of their transgression,
91:7/10
In their histories there is certainly a lesson for men of understanding. It is not a narrative which could be forged, but a verification of what is before it and a distinct explanation of all things and a guide and a mercy to a people who believe.
(English - Shakir)
( 110 ) Say, "I am only a man like you, to whom has been revealed that your god is one God. So whoever would hope for the meeting with his Lord - let him do righteous work and not associate in the worship of his Lord anyone."
{قُلْ إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ يُوحَىٰ إِلَيَّ أَنَّمَا إِلَٰهُكُمْ إِلَٰهٌ وَاحِدٌ ۖ فَمَن كَانَ يَرْجُو لِقَاءَ رَبِّهِ فَلْيَعْمَلْ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا وَلَا يُشْرِكْ بِعِبَادَةِ رَبِّهِ أَحَدًا**
18_110
Allah does not impose upon any soul a duty but to the extent of its ability; for it is (the benefit of) what it has earned and upon it (the evil of) what it has wrought: Our Lord! do not punish us if we forget or make a mistake; Our Lord! do not lay on us a burden as Thou didst lay on those before us, Our Lord do not impose upon us that which we have not the strength to bear; and pardon us and grant us protection and have mercy on us, Thou art our Patron, so help us against the unbelieving people.
(English - Shakir)
And when he attained to working with him, he said: O my son! surely I have seen in a dream that I should sacrifice you; consider then what you see. He said: O my father! do what you are commanded; if Allah please, you will find me of the patient ones.

(English - Shakir)
(39:41) (O Prophet), We revealed to you the Book with the Truth for all mankind. So he who follows the Right Way does so to his own benefit, and he who goes astray, shall hurt only himself by straying. You are not accountable on their behalf.
(39:47) If the wrong-doers possessed the treasures of the earth in their entirety and as much besides, they would gladly offer it on the Day of Resurrection to redeem themselves from the harrowing chastisement. This because there will appear to them from Allah something (exceedingly dismal which) they had never even imagined.

I'm sorry.... But I have a question....
The things within parentheses....are they added to the original words, and is it for translation/ clarification attempts/purposes?
Thanks in advance. I'm sorry I didn't post a verse.
And He has made subservient for you the night and the day and the sun and the moon, and the stars are made subservient by His commandment; most surely there are signs in this for a people who ponder;
(English - Shakir)
It may be that your Lord will have mercy on you, and if you again return (to disobedience) We too will return (to punishment), and We have made hell a prison for the unbelievers.
(English - Shakir)
So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

1. I have taken this verse along with its translation from tafheem.net so it is not my translation.
2. I understand that the words in the parentheses are for clarification purposes i.e. to make the translation more understandable. In fact we know from the text of the Holy Quraan that the chastisement in Hell shall be uniquely severe! Nothing in this world can be compared with that punishment.
3. One personal point is that (and I write it as a request) Allah very clearly said that the only Deen (religion )acceptable to Almighty God (Allah) is Islam. Allah said in the surah Aali-Imraan verses 19 and 85:
19. Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam. And those who were given the Scripture did not differ except after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves. And whoever disbelieves in the verses of Allah , then indeed, Allah is swift in [taking] account.
(Surah Aali-Imraan verse 19)
85. If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah), never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter He will be in the ranks of those who have lost (All spiritual good).
(Surah Aali-Imraan verse 85)
In the light of these verses my sincere advice to you is that you shouldn't write "Christianity." Your faith seems to be that of a good Muslim (Masha-Allah).

Thanks for the advice.
I didn't think it was your own personal translation, but thanks for attempting to clarify.
If I might clarify a thing; I consider myself striving to be faithful unto GOD.
I adhere to tenets of Christianity and Islam as to me they are very, very similar. Of course this is based on the reading of their core scriptures and not the erroneous prideful actions of man.
Again, thank you and peace
All praise, thanks, submission, supplication, love end fear is ultimately to GOD alone. May we all come to be pleasing in the sight of GOD by HIS mercy and will in our lives.
